What are Wall Street analysts saying about Federated Investors stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Federated Investors stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Federated have outperformed the industry over the past three months. Further, the company’s earnings surprise history is decent, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters. Notably, the acquisition of Hermes in July 2018 brought along complementary global investment strategies and distribution capabilities, from which the company is expected to keep reaping benefits. Also, Federated has inked strategic deals over the years that have helped it expand globally. However, consistent increase in expenses due to strict compliance measures remains a major concern. Nevertheless, its top line continues to get support from the rise in interest rates and increasing AUM." (12/31/2018)

2. JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts commented, "We are not completely surprised that Mr. Hele is retiring. Recent changes in the management of operating business lines made clear that there are other internal candidates being positioned to possibly replace CEO Steven Kandarian. Additionally, a series of issues that fell within the financial reporting function have been a source of investor frustration." (5/1/2018)
